TROUSERS.

Application led June 6, i922. Serial No. 566,316.

To all lwhom t may concern Be it known that SAMUEL B. Waxman,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trousers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in trousers and is particularly directed to trousers that are made from thin fabrics for summer wear, such as mohair cloth, although the improvement is as readily applicable to trousers made of other and heavier fabrics.

Trousers of the kind referred to, especially in the case of mohair fabrics, are subjected to strains across the seat when the wearer sits or stoops, which frequently causes the fabric to split because of its britL tle character.

rPhe object therefore of my invention is to provide an improved construction and arrangement of stay by which the garment may be reinforced across the seat to the inseam in the legs and to secure these stays to the fabric by stitching in such a way that the stitches will not be visible on the outer side of the fabric.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein,-

Fig. 1. shows the upper portion of a pair of trousers wherein the invention is embodied,-the view being a perspective one with a portion of the front of the trousers 35 broken away to better disclose the interior structure.

Fig. 2. illustrates the two separated rear parts of the garment as viewed from the in ner side with the stay strips and lining parts laid thereon and ready for attachment thereto, and

Fig. 3. shows on a much enlarged scale a cross-sectional detail through one of the stay-strips and a portion of the trouser fabric to. show that the attaching threads of the stitching do not extend all the way through to the outer side of the trouser fabric,the section being taken for example on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. y

Referring to the drawing the numeral 5 designates the body-part of the trousers and 6 the leg-parts thereof. The garment also has a front fly 7 a rear seam 8 and inseams 9 in the legs, all of which are of the usual construction.

At the rear the body-'part is provided on each side ofthe seam 8 with two narrow fabric stay-strips 10. These stay-strips have their upper ends 11 stitched at or adjacent to the waistband, from which point they extend downwardly along the inner side of the seat-part 12, while their lower ends 13, project forwardly and downwardly some distance below the crotch la and terminate at and are stitched in the inseams 9, as shown in broken lines in F ig. 1. of the drawing.

These narrow stay-strips 10 lie in close contact with the inner surface 15 of the trouser-fabric 16, and are secured thereto by rows of stitches 17. These stitches 17 are so engaged with the trouser-fabric 16 that they do not pass all the way through the latter and therefore are not visible on the outer surface of such fabric, but they do extend all the way through the stay-strips 10.

lt is therefore to be understood that the stay-strips are in close contact with and are stitched to the inner side of the seat and upper leg-portions of the trousers so as to prevent undue strain on the thin mohair fabric, but the stitches which secure those strips do not pass all the way through the mohair and are not visible 0n the outer side Y thereof.

To 'provide additional protection and reenforcement in the seat of the trousers I also make use of linings 18, which latter cover the stay strips at the seat and are alsosecured by stitches 19 to the inner side l5 of the trouser fabric. These stitches 19 are also taken in the trouser fabric so as not to extend all the way through the latter.

From the foregoing explanation it is to be understood that I have devised a novel construction and arrangement of reinforcing stays for trousers, particularly of thin light-weight material, which stays extend through the seat-part of the garment and down into the legs and are stitched to the inner surface of the fabricby stitches which latter are invisible on the exterior of the fabric.

Having described my invention, I claim,-

1. A trouser garment having a body and leg-parts and provided with the usual inseams in the legs, said trouser having narrow fabric stay strips whose upper ends are stitched to the inner side of the trousers about the waistline and which extend down along the inner side of the seat and project,

inrwavrc'llyNv into the legs below the crotch the lower 'forward ends of said narrow fabric stay-strips lbeing Stitched in the inseains of 5 the legs belowv the crotch of the garment.

2. A trouser garmenthaving a body and leg-parts and provided with a. rear center seat seam and with inseams in the legs seid trouser having at each sidek of the rear seat v0 seam aV narrow stay-strip of fabric which strips extend from -thefwaistline down f along the inner side of the seat and project for@ Wardly andterminate in-:the legs below the crotch said 'forwardly-projacting ends of said stay-strips being stitched in the inseams and che side edges of the strips being s e- Vcured to tiie fabric seat of the' trousers by stitches which siitclies extend'onl)7` part of die way through' the trouser-fabric from the inner toward the outer side of the said 'fabrio whereby diev stitches will be concealed from View on the outer side of the fabric. In testimony whereof; -I aiii'xiny signature.
